First of all WRAPPING PAPER ISNT HAIR Ahem....excuse me. Thats just the name of a badge on AnimePlanet that you can earn by watching this particular anime which is how I learned it existed in the first place. Despite the curiosity I felt after discovering it though I ended up spending years trying to find it with English subs included. I eventually found it and was able to watch this pair of OVAs however its evident now that all of that searching was not worth it. Lads ladies and nonbinaries I now present my review of the 1994 OVA series Tanjou: Debut. Tanjou: Debut known in English as Birth: Debut is based on a 1993 video game of the same name where the player is a manager for three idols however nothing except its opening theme hints that this is what the animes source material is about. Instead each of its two episodes tells two completely different stories with some of the same characters. The first episode follows Aki Itou a high school girl with a crush on an employee at a restaurant she frequents who is told that said crush already has a girlfriend and misunderstandings ensue from there. The second focuses more on Saori Fujimura as she and her two friends one of them being Aki herself and the other being another girl named Kumi Tanaka dig up a time capsule that they buried 10 years ago. They discover that inside of the time capsule alongside each of their own boxes with their own possessions inside there is a fourth box with a small bouquet inside of it but they cant remember whose box it was....apparently. Look I have no problem with each episode having a different plot from the last there are plenty of other anime that are similarly episodic but they manage to make sense for what came before each episode and even sometimes be enjoyable to watch. Tanjou: Debut however doesnt do either of these things. Some aspects of the second episode dont make sense when you think about what was going on in the first such as how the relationship between two characters was established in each episode this disconnect is rather jarring. It certainly doesnt help that neither episode is that enjoyable in the first place both of the plots in this anime are boring highly predictable and full of characters I personally didnt give two cruds about. As I mentioned earlier both episodes have the same main cast but both iterations of these characters are as bland as the plots and go through little to no character development. As for the art....well a quip about a certain aspect of the character designs in the form of a badge name is why Im here in the first place is it not? Not only is the artwork every bit as bad as you probably expect with Akis design being especially awful in my opinion but while not flatout awful the animation is very dated even for its time Im sure that we all know that Studio Pierrot was capable of better even back then. Meanwhile the music is rather forgettable as it doesnt stand out when placed next to other tunes from the 90s I dont even remember how the opening or ending themes go much less what they were even called. The voice acting isnt anything to write home about either. Overall Tanjou: Debut is a bad way to spend an hour of your time. Looking for it isnt really worth it either but if you really want to earn the achievement of watching the wrappingpaper hair anime be my guest. Dont blame me for not warning you if any negative feelings are born in your heart after you watch it though.
